That's what you're doing wrong. The net.eth* scripts will detect ifplugd
and use it. Put net.eth0 in the default runlevel. there is no
configuration to do, it "just works" [tm]. I have my laptop set up like
this, even though it usually starts up with no network cable connected

eth0 is the wired interface. The only configuration I have down is
edit the postup function on conf.d/net to bring down/up eth1 (the
wireless interface) when eth0 comes up/down.
